Zuccardi Polígonos Malbec 2021

This comes from vineyards planted in San Pablo, at an altitude of 1,400 meters in the Uco Valley. Aged in concrete, without going through barrels, this is a raw and honest expression of the variety in those Andean heights, the expression of a grape that’s usually sweet and friendly and that continues to be, here, at the foot of the mountains, although it adds herbs and flowers and tart fruits that combine in a body full of firm tannins and red-fruit flavors. A faithful expression of an extreme place in the Uco Valley. Score – 95. (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2023)
